  by Lenedra J. Carroll
  Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way that it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you love to do, in order to have what you want.

  Barter
  In ancient people didn't buy goods from other people with money. They used barter. Barter is the exchange of personal possessions of value for other goods that you want. This kind of exchange started at the beginning of humankind and is still used today. From 9,000-6,000 B.C., livestock was often used as a unit of exchange. Later, as agriculture developed, people used crops for barter. For example, I could ask another farmer to trade a pound of apples for a pound of bananas.

  First Metal Money
  China, in 1,000 B.C., produced mock cowry shells at the end of the Stone Age. They can be thought of as the original development of metal currency. In addition, tools made of metal, like knives and spades, were also used in China as money.  From these models, we developed today's round coins that we use daily. The Chinese coins were usually made out of base metals which had holes in them so that you could put the coins together to make a chain.

  Silver
  At about 500 B.C., pieces of silver were the earliest coins.   Eventually in time they took the appearance of today and were imprinted with numerous gods and emperors to mark their value. These coins were first shown in Lydia, or Turkey, during this time, but the methods were used over and over again, and further improved upon by the Greek, Persian, Macedonian, and Roman empires. Not like Chinese coins, which relied on base metals, these new coins were composed from scarce metals such as bronze, gold, and silver, which had a lot of intrinsic value.

    The Role of Money
  
  What is money? What is wealth? Answers to these questions usually provide typical responses such as: money means power, control, security, comfort, happiness, satisfaction, enrichment, etc. These responses simply represent feelings or experiences from exchanging something of perceived value for goods and service. In reality, money itself means exchange, and nothing more! Over time, wealth has been measured in many ways. In ancient times, wealth was measured by ownership of such diverse items as gold pieces, seashells, animal furs, crops, and, yes, even the number of cows an individual owned. Some of these measures of wealth still exist today in some parts of the world.
